Swap meets...

We need one.

There's a post on the Tulsa Craigslist right now about a swap meet this weekend. The author is looking for old bikes, and he's planning to attend a car swap over west of Sapulpa at the Creek County Fairgrounds on the 20th. I may go after work Friday.

Remember - this is a CAR swap meet. I've been to some motorcycle swaps that had a few bicycle too, but they were very unwelcome.

We need a BICYCLE swap meet on a regular basis somewhere around Tulsa.

I'd suggest you go to your local shop and try to organize one. My shop does them a few times a year in their parking lot. Nothing huge, but they sell space cheap, have lots of their own stuff to sell, and get their reps involved. Start small to see what interest is out there.

They put flyers up all over town, and use the local clubs to advertise the dates.
